Weekly Market Review.
The stock market has had a stormy
week. The previously existing heaviness
continued on Monday, and on Tuesday
prices declined sharply on very heavy llq
u dation. On Wednesday there was a con
siderable recovery, and the market held
up prtety well until Friday's close. Satur-
THE MORNING NEWS: MON DAY, MAY 15. 1890.
day morning, however, the market was
demoralized bv the unexpected announce
ment of the sudden death Fri
day night of ex-Gov. Flow-er,
who has been generally regarded
as the principal leader on the bull side.
In the wild desire to unload, holders of
w'hat are known as the ’’Flower stocks”
fell into a panic, and slaughtered their
securities, regardless of prices. Air Brake,
Brooklyn, Federal Steel and People’s Gas
were the heaviest losers, although the en
tire list slumped sharply In sympathy.
After the opening break a smart rally re
sulted in a recovery averaging about one
half the early decline, but the market con
tinued feverish and unsettled. The bank
statement was very favorable, reserves in
creasing nearly $8,000,000. How long 01-
how deeply the market will be affected
further by Mr. Flower’s death remains to
be seen. Perhaps a long process of liqui
dation will set in. At any rate, it seems
certain that bullish confidence and enthus
iasm have received a severe shock.
Cotton continues lifeless; prices show a
loss of 6 or 7 points, August c.osing 5.89 c
and January 5.97 c. The bureau report on
Wednesday foreshadowed a larger de
crease In the acreage than was expected,
but fell flat; it was regarded as too vague
and indefinite. The trade is skeptical
about any such decrease in Texas as 9 per
cent. Receipts continue unusually larg--
and the excess of supplies on this side
over last year goes on increasing. Gen
erally speaking, weather conditions were
favorable. The only encouraging features
are the good demand for spot cotton in
Liverpool, and the fine trade in manufac
tured’ goods. But there is no life in the
market, and no immediate prospects of
any.
Wheat was variable, but mostly weaker,
and closed about l%c lower; July 70c. The
bureau report was less favorable than it
might have been, giving a slight decline
in the condition of winter wheat and call
ing spring w-heat late, but failed to help
the (market. Foreign crop news was
rather better. Around current figures
wheat appears a reasonably safe Invest
ment for a moderate profit. So far, there
Is nothing In domestic crop prospects to
justify any material decline.

BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New York, May 13.—After a prolonged
struggle, the stock market has at last
yielded to the pressure of downward in
fluences. The "bull” side has had a hard
task. For four months, It has been striv
ing to support the highest range of prices
ever reached in the history of the market.
There have been extraordinary causes pro
ducing tjtat rise, and it will be pretty gen
erally allowed that those causes have in a
large measure warranted the advance.
But the past week’s experience was not
needed to demonstrate that something
more than the intrinsic merits of the
properties Is needed to maintain values.
An unbalanced condition of the machin
ery of speculation Is enough lo break a
market in spite of whatever may be
claimed in favor of the investments. Ever
since the opening of the year, the market
has been in a state of high nervous ten
sion, In January, the market was taken
by surprise with an unprecedented rush cf
Investment buying, which put up prices
of railroad shares to a level yielding 3%
to 4 per cent. This started a speculative
movement based on extravagant expecta
tions, and buying was carried to excesses
through reinvesting the large profits yield
ed by high prices. This always danger
ous method of financing speculation has
been the weak point in the market for the
last tgro or three months, and the position
became especially critical so soon as the
large operators realized their profits.
Asa general view, it seems reasonable
to conclude that the course of the securi
ties market will depend, for the next few
weeks or months, less upon such factors
as the crops and general trade than upon
conditions intrinsic to the stock market
itself, and created by the introduction of
an important mass of securities largely
news and experimental in their nature and
which the banks are disposed to treat
shyly as collateral.
LONDON STOCK MARKET.
American Share* Affected by Death
of Roswell P. Flower.
London, May 14.—The close of the week
found the stock exchange still firm in tone,
with Indications of a buying tendency,
which many think foreshadow a coming
boom.
Argentinas were a leading feature, ow
ing to the rise of from 1 to 2% points in
anticipation of the issue of a 4 per cent,
loan for an amount variously estimated
between £4,000,000 and £5,000,000.
Americans were irregular and closed
weak after a partial recovery from the
sharp break that followed the death of
Roswell P. Flower.

Dr. Joseph Holt, who ranks among <he foremost sanitarista of the world, says:
“I consider the mountains of Virginia ns a natural sanitarium, where visitors from
warm latitudes, and especially from crowded centers, may surely enjoy the bene
fits of waste-restQrinf4 stimulus, which insures a rapid recuperation and the very
best preparation i or renewed health and a long sustained activity in the occupa
tion of a busy and often overworked life.”
The section of country referred to by Dr. Holt is the Mineral Spring Region of
the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, reached by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway, one of the safest, best equipped and most picturesque trunk lines in Am
erica.
In this favored region, at an average elevation of 2.600 feet, are the
VIRGINIA HOT SPRINGS
tvitTi a grand hotel, doubled in capacity this spring, the most luxurious and com
plete bathing establishment in this country (every bath being from flowing springs
of natural hot water).

MsKSlins Editor Who Rejected a
Story Because Two Characters
Fsaxht.
From the Chicago Record.
• Sioux City, lowa, May Ul—“Among
magazine readers in the United States
there is a strange prejudice against any
thing smacking of pugilism,"' said the
Rev. Dr. Watson recently while on a vis
it In Sioux City. "No* long ngo I was
commissidned by the edlior of an Amer
ican magazine to write n story of a cer
tain length for a specified sura, the sub
ject and treatment to be selected fry my
self. When I submitted the production
the editor looked at It and declnred:
“ 'We couldn't think of printing such a
story as this to go into the homes of the
United States. It would be suicld* for the
magazine. Of course, we will pay you the
sum agreed on, but we cannot use the
matter at all.’
"I replied that he was under no obliga
tions to pay for what he could not usg,
but I wanted to know what there might
be; ill fhe story that made It objectionable
to his reader*. ‘lt would shock their mor
al sense so seriously.' he answered, ‘that
we, would lose subscribers by the article
instead of Increasing our Hat.’
"I knew that neither In this story nor
In any other that 1 had written was there
A single expression that ought to offend
the sensibilities of the reader, old or
yeiung. Bo I asked Ihe eer.rar few specifi
cations. What do you suppose had been
my offense as an author?. It was simply
thnt I hud referred to a lltt'e flstcuff be
tween two boy at school. I did not de
tail the quarrel—merely referred to It,
but in auch a way that it was essential
to the story. The episode could not be
cut out. For this reason the manuscript
was rejected. I wanted the editor's per
sonal Judgment of such sentimentalism,
and you will pnrdon me for quoting his re
ply literally:
" ‘I think It Is Pharisaical rot.’
"The difference between the two great
English-speaking countries with reference
to pugilism Is something I cannot explain.
With us it la not regarded unmanly for
two boys to settle differences with their
fists. Indeed, the boy who does not back
his rights with his muscle is considered
a milksop. I believe It is entirely proper
and that cultivation of the manly art Is
helpful in building character. I practiced
it myself when a youngster and have al
ways been gla-J of It. I have known nat
ural bullies who have been pounded lnio
quite decent fellow*. Nothing else could
have saved them from being bullies.
"That experience with the editor led me
to inspect American magazine* to sec how
much real care is token In them not to of
fend In other respects those senslbl.iiies
which are so delicate concerning fisticuffs.
Of course, I found page after page devot
ed to advertisements, showing women in
their corsets, underwear ani hosiery. I
submit that a patronage so dalnty-soulel
that it cannot tolerate an allusion to n
muscular contest ought to be fastidious
enough to make objection, at least, to the
suggestive engravings with which the
same magazlpeg arc fUed.'*
